America has the feel of friends walking around a hospice, refusing to say the words "Death or Die."

A year ago, we had a fully functioning American government. Now we have a well-equipped terrorist organization.

so people have a chance at getting paid

We do not know how not to wake up, go to work, pay our bills, attempt to chill out and repeat

But we will find out as your $600 cart of groceries shrinks

As bills pile up and sit unpaid

and credit card debt spirals
